Duos Technologies, Inc. Awarded Contract to Harden Sensitive Rail Corridor Through Washington D.C.JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Duos Technologies, Inc. (Duos) has been awarded a contract to design, manufacture, and install a cutting-edge security system to harden a 7-mile stretch of CSX CSX Chessie Seaboard Multiplier (railroad transportation company) CSX Cayman Islands Stock Exchange CSX Changsha, China (Airport Code) CSX Cardiac-Specific Homeobox CSX Seaboard Coastline Railroad rail tracks Rail tracks are used on railways (or railroads), which, together with railroad switches (or points), guide trains without the need for steering. Tracks consist of two parallel steel rails, which are laid upon sleepers (or cross ties) that are embedded in ballast to form the between Reagan National Airport and CSX's Benning Rail Yard in Washington D.C., commonly called the D.C. Corridor. Duos will execute this project with its teaming partner, Epsilon Systems Solutions, Inc. (Epsilon), the project prime contractor and program manager for the client, which is the Department of Homeland Security Noun 1.

The total contract is valued at $9.8 million. The D.C. Rail Security Corridor (DCRSC) project is the result of vulnerability studies conducted over several months by the DHS, the Federal Railroad Association (FRA Fra: see Angelico, Fra; Bartolommeo di Pagholo del Fattorino, Fra; Fra Filippo Lippi under Lippi. ), Capitol police Capitol police in the United States are agencies charged with the provision of security police services for various state agencies, but especially State Legislatures. Capitol police may function as part of the state police or may be an independent agency. and the CSX Public Safety team. The DCRSC Project includes integration of several surveillance technologies, including intelligent video and radio frequency identification See RFID. (RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) A data collection technology that uses electronic tags for storing data. The tag, also known as an "electronic label," "transponder" or "code plate," is made up of an RFID chip attached to an antenna. ). During the past two years, Duos developed and deployed several tunnel and bridge security systems for CSX, one of the nation's largest rail transportation systems. The Duos/Epsilon team created security hardening See OS hardening. solutions for other critical DHS infrastructure protection projects as well, including buffer zone buffer zone n. A neutral area between hostile or belligerent forces that serves to prevent conflict. Noun 1. buffer zone surveillance systems at chemical plants throughout the country. "Duos and Epsilon will provide a seamless security curtain around the rail track crossing our Nation's capital. This project is considered a pilot of what will most likely become a guideline to protect our citizens and especially vulnerable critical assets of our transportation infrastructure. The system will include artificial intelligence to detect anomalies along the DCRSC and will simultaneously alert various security teams if our security buffer is compromised. This project will benefit from the participation of a very broad spectrum of security experts including the DHS, law enforcement, the rail industry and our respective teams," said Gianni B. Arcaini, Chief Executive of Duos.
